GUILTY NC - Teghan Skiba, 4, Smithfield, 19 July 2010 #2

[gracielee]

This is a routine motion -- we've all seen it before. It's what the DT is "supposed" to do when comments or actions appear to try to influence a jury. The DT has got to put it on record. Sometimes this type of petition for mistrial is used for grounds for appeal. No biggie, IMO, and not a surprise. And the judge routinely dismisses it.

Just getting here folks -- you let her take the stand before I got here!! But I'm catching up!!!

Thanks, thanks for the good pick-ups, folks, and THE BIG THANKS to our :drumroll: GXM!! :drumroll:

You have a lot of catching up to do. :banghead::banghead::banghead::tantrum::tantrum::tantrum:

Why would she consider leaving him if she believed he wouldn't hurt her? Was she suspicious?
I wonder if teghan told her?

Hopefully that comment will be used at her trial!

Sorry, I don't know how to copy tweets over here. Reyes testified 'she knew whipped Teghan for throwing up on his chair.' WHO WHIPS A CHILD FOR THROWING UP? Reyes knew he whipped her child, leaving welts on her body, because she threw up on his chair!

Who whips a child for anything? Whipping of children? What the heck?

No one should whip, hit, strike a child for anything...

Mom said ' would have teghan bring him cigs & beer, it was okay cuz she was 4'. She was NOT 4, she was 3. She turned four years old locked up in a shed being beaten and tortured. Let's get it right, mom.

Heather Moore ‏@HeatherMooreNow 2m
#JonathanRichardson once slapped #TeghanSkiba in face in front of #HelenReyes. Teghan lost balance and fell down, did not leave mark.


I'm so angry. She knew and she left her child with him anyway. So irresponsible and thoughtless.

#JonathanRichardson gave #TeghanSkiba a beer bottle to pose with before hand...Helen knew about photo, didn.t know if daughter consumed.

Why TH didn't she know??? To afraid to ask? Didn't want to offend/accuse the wonderful father-figure??

It seems to me that in this one, the daughter came in second. Grrrrrr.

She was THREE years old, dammit.

Thank you for copying tweets, I've figured out how to read them a little bit, but they won't let me highlight and copy/paste. I'm so ANGRY.

@MyMick @neelobo I completely agree. #HelenReyes was putting her needs before her daughter's. #TeghanSkiba

I have an even bigger admiration for those who post the tweets on here. I have 5 tabs open with some of the hashtags up and some individual's feeds up refreshing like mad. It's a little overwhelming and I'm not sure if I can keep up. Twitter really makes me anxious.

Reyes said she felt trapped, & #TeghanSkiba and her had no where to go ....didn't want to go home to maternal mom/grandmothers house

Well, folks, I guess welts were okay, huh? On a 3 year old. "No big deal, just let us continue to stay here with you, please, please, please."

@LissaS812 12m

#JonathanRichardson slapped #TeghanSkiba on face and she lost balance and fell. All this in front of #helenreyes. #justice4teghan

 

[geevee]

She loved him, so it was all right to let him beat her daughter...right in front of her??? Holy fricken moly.

 

[joypath]

Guess this is a case where the axiom "actions speak louder than words".....FAILED!!


HR believed the WORDS of JR, not her own EYES!.....and just because YOU (HR) couldn't get along with YOUR mommy, YOU DID have places to leave Teghan....AH, YOU (HR) had resources....like the National Guard, the State, Churches, SHELTERS, et al.!


:truce: I'm almost ready to give up on humanity! :truce:

How many times are we up to now where HR says 'she told JR to not hit her kid, and he promised not to, yadda yadda yadda......:banghead::banghead: and yet 'she isn't guilty of anything, hence she didn't take a plea deal.' Someone out there in power, please charge this woman as an accessory.
lease:lease::tantrum::tantrum::banghead::banghead: and stick her in :jail:

COURTROOM SHOCKER....#TeghanSkiba's mother just admitted that the little girl's paternal grandparents wanted custody

 

[gxm]

Kelli O'Hara ‏@Kelli_OHara 53s

Since grandparents wanted custody #TeghanSkiba's mother didn.t leave little girl with them or her mother. Left w #JonathanRichardson


Heather Moore ‏@HeatherMooreNow 1m

#HelenReyes didn't ask Skibas 2 keep #TeghanSkiba b/c they wanted custody.Didn't ask her mom b/c weren't getting along. #JonathanRichardson
